Hydro mulch eroding oreos-Hydromulch should be sprayed on any areas which have begun to uncontrollably erode. Flexterra HP-FGM would be recommended installing silt fences- 36" tall (high flow or low flow) Silt fence should be installed at the toe of the slope, below the steep face with loose soil, and at the top of slope preventing construction runoff. SRW MSP 70 or Beltech 1935 would be recommended construction of vegetative cover-Native seed mix and vegetative planting should be Installed with hope of hardy establishment and continued self reproduction. Seeding on slopes greater that 18% shall be covered with erosion control fabric or blankets. Minnesota State seed mixes Mn 36-211 would be recommended MN36-411 would be recommended Native Woody plants and trees from University of Minnesota extension http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/vard-garden/landscaping/native- plants-for-sustainabte-landscapes/doc/7447z.pdf Erosion control Fabric Dewit seed guard .5 oz would be recommended PP5-10 Erosion tech would be recommended Etrs-1 Erosion tech would be recommended CCANKED Long-term goals. To properly vegetate slope. Proper vegetative establishment decreases erosive potential by softening the impact of raindrops and diffusing the power of channeled flows. Native vegetation will be used because of its survivability and hardiness. Native vegetation tends to have a deeper root structure which is beneficial to soil stability. Ecological befits of proper erosion plan. Proper performance standards and provisions will ensure that natural characteristics of these areas will be properly established and managed. Vegetation slows runoff and filters out suspended sediments. Established and maintained vegetation ensures visual integrity and provides wildlife habitat. This contributes to greater biodiversity through species richness. Phases of Implementation 1. Install temporary slope stabilization measures. This will Insure further erosion Is halted or minimized. Temporary stabilization measures include erosion control fabric or matting and silt fences. Straw waddles and hydro mulch may also be considered during this phase. 2. Native plant material be planted at the toe of the slope to prevent sediment from erosion or construction from entering the lake. Emergent vegetation-lake bank-and upland sections should be planted with site specific survivability being considered S.Stockplled soil or strippings shall be placed in a stable location and covered during "wet weather" periods. Stock piles shall be covered with plastic sheeting or straw mulch. Sediment fence is recommended around the perimeter of any stockpiles. 4. Grading-seeding-and plantings will start at the toe of the slope and continue upwards. CCAi;?iED 5. Long term slope stabilizing measures shall include the establishment of a permanent vegetative cover via seeding with native seed mix, and plantings which are hardy and have deep root structures. 6. Steep slopes or sheer faces should be restored. This would be best accomplished using Envirogrid or comparable technology. Better known as geocellular confinement. For slope applications, you can either drape the grid over the face of the slope and fill with topsoil or stack them onto each other and create a more vertical face that is tied back Into the slope. I recommend the EGA30 (8" tall sections) installed in a stack retaining wall application. Materials Hydro mulch- silt fences- 36" Minnesota State seed mixes Native Woody plants and trees Erosion control Fabric envirogrid Desired impact The desired impact of this erosion control plan is first to control and limit further erosion from taking place. The second result we hope to achieve is to provide a stable and protected area to install native vegetation In hopes of permanently holding soils in place. Lastly with proper monitoring and maintenance the growing vegetation can thrive and continue to reproduce on its own. A slope with healthy and native vegetation can be an astatically pleasing feature of the property and tie into the greater ecological habitat. m OTTER TAIL COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION County of Otter Tail, Government Services Center, 540 West Fir, Fergus Falls, MN 56537 218-998-8095 AGENDA FOR OCTOBER 14, 2015 ^^30 PM.

Brock White specializes in erosion control and has done a lot of work with the Department of Natural Resources over the years. Greg Halverson went out to the lot, looked at the site, and made recommendations, a copy of his email is enclosed. I would propose that we do the less expensive geocell option which would cost roughly around $3.00 a square foot for materials plus labor. Fortunately, some of the plant seed material that I planted last fall has taken root. Mr. Halverson estimates there is approximately a 20 x 20 area with an area depth of 3 feet that needs to be dealt with so that we do not have the steep slope ratio of 90 degrees, so we would get it back to a more normal slope. I have enclosed other options as well, but you will find that the geocell option in the enclosed handout.

I've attached some documents and links for two other alternatives to repair your slope along Eagle Lake. I'm not suggesting Flexamat is a bad option, but either way I think you'll have to import fill to the scarp area and match up the grades. Flexamat is a heavy roll and may be difficult to maneuver into place. These other options may also be more aesthetically pleasing. I estimated the area to be 20' x 20' with an average of 3' depth. I didn't measure the slope ratio but based on my site visit I'd estimate a 2:1 slope. As you place the fill material, you could simply step up the slope using Envirogrid or Envirolok. Envirogrid (http://www.geoproducts.org/): Better known as geocellular confinement. For slope applications, you can either drape the grid over the face of the slope and fill with topsoil or stack them onto each other and create a more vertical face that is tied back into the slope. I recommend the EGA30 (8" tall sections) installed in a stack retaining wall application. See attached "Envirogrid Retaining Wall.pdf". Using this application, the estimated cost is around $10/SF of slope face not including the soil needed to fill the cells or backfill. That said, if you'd rather drape the geocells over the slope after matching the grade, it would drastically reduce the material cost to around $3/SF. Envirolok (http://www.versa-lok-midwest.com/envirolok-vegetated-retaining-walls). The bags are 18" x 36" and would need to be filled onsite with 80% sand and 20% fine grain material. When filled, they are about 6" tall. Stack them up and fill behind them to recreate the slope. Estimated cost is S6.50/SF of slope face not including the soil needed to fill the bags or backfill. Both systems are vegetated solutions. To help ensure good growth, you could plug plants in the cells or between the bags and hydroseed the face with whatever plant and seed mix recommended by the county. Gently watering the slope will also help...but try not to completely saturate the hillside like the previous owner! Let me know if you have any questions or have any luck with your proposal to the board.

Based on the site specific application, EnviroGrid can be filled with angular rock, concrete, or native soils that can be vegetated allowing for deep root growth. The cell walls slow the flow of water down the slope or in areas affected by wave action reducing the formation of rills which are a major cause of soil erosion. EnviroGrid has also been proven as a solution for holding soil on geomembrane liners or covers. Cellular Confinement Systems ♦♦♦♦It Is well known that an ideal soil material far use in civil engineering applicatians is one that compacts well and drains water freely. The problem is that the better draining soils are difficult to confine in place. Geo Products EnviroGrid cellular confinement system provides a solution. ♦♦ Slope Erosion ControlAlthough confining soil materials have many benefits, it is not always easy or inexpensive to accomplish. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) experimented with a variety of methods that could be used to confine sand during an amphibious assault. Their solution is a product in which strips of plastic are welded together such that, when expanded, the welded strips form a rectangular panel made of individual cells that resemble a honeycomb. Today, this same concept is employed by civil engineers all over the world to confine onsite materials. In very steep slope applications where it is not feasible to place EnviroGrid panels on the slope face, soils con be retained with an EnviroGrid vertical wall structure. Filled with local soils, EnviroGrid can be used in both cut and fill situations by holding the soil in place and providing drainage throughout the structure. The outer cells of an EnviroGrid retaining wall can be vegetated providing an environmentally pleosing look.Retaining Walls EnviroGrid is successful at protecting channels by counteracting various flow velocities. A few recommended Infill materials are listed below:Soil Stabilization Strv»>«i on kubgrodo reiwlting Irem whrel load boing greator than the o( leil cautingihoor kfroitgtti By simply using onsite non-cohesive soils or sand, EnviroGrid can reduce the amount of aggregate required to stabilize a poor load bearing soil by up to 65%. By confining the infill material within the connected cells, the system prevents lateral movement of that infill. The panel acts like a large mat, distributing applied loads over an extended area. Due to the high costs and environmental concerns of mining and hauling quality aggregates, engineers are specifying EnviroGrid to save money and the environment in many ground stabilization projects.

Areas with rough terrain and/or steep slopes were once considered as being unusable for development. Many of these areas can be made virtually flat, and thereby usable, through the employment of.structures such as retaining walls and steepened slopes. The two basic types of retaining walls are cantilever ■ and gravity. Most cantilever retaining walls are ^rnade of cast-in-place, steel-reinforced concrete, f ' i This type of structure is able to retain the earth p ^behind it by virtue of its internal strength and :*f. rigidity. Reinforced concrete retaining walls are M fc expensive to build, cannot be built in very cold weather, and are not especially attractive. These walls are brittle, and if stresses resulting from differential settlement exceed the strength of the concrete, cracks develop affecting the structure's stability and appearance. ^5 Gravity retaining walls are constructed principally of soil that is stabilized with man-made materials such as EnviroGrid®. This type of structure is able to retain the earth behind it by virtue of its weight. Gravity retaining walls are typically inexpensive to build and can be built in nearly all weather conditions. In addition, they have a degree of flexibility that allows them to adjust to small amounts of differential settlement without suffering structural damage. I <4 i • i: . 4 Vi ^ V-i-• •; 3 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC r-' 'i. EnviroGrid® can also be used to create a steepened slope. Steepened slopes are slopes which are constructed much steeper than the soil alone would allow. A steepened slope made with EnviroGrid® can be considered to be a retaining wall with a face inclination greater than 70° t : 4 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC The EnviroGrid® Solution An EnviroGrid® retaining wall or steepened slope can be constructed in almost any situation where a rapid change of grade is desired. EnviroGrid® confines the soil or other fill material allowing the material to behave as a reinforced mass. EnviroGrid® can be used in both.fill and cut applications. In a project where the structure is built with fill material, it is usually more cost-effective to use EnviroGrid® in conjunction with a geogrid. The geogrid acts as a tieback in the reinforced zone. EnviroGrid® assumes the role of the facing element, such as concrete blocks in a modular block retaining wall. Unlike modular block, EnviroGrid® is easy to handle, flexible, and can be planted with grass or shrubbery to give the face a natural look. In cut situations, the exposed face is unstable because the soil holding it in place has been removed. Some of this weight needs to be replaced but in a much smaller area. In this circumstance it is often more economical to use EnviroGrid® in lieu of other methods such as gabion baskets. When used in this manner, the stack of filled EnviroGrid® panels acts as a near vertical, heavy', reinforced mass 5 I P a g e Design Considerations A gravity retaining wall must have sufficient weight and width or be otherwise supported so that it does not overturn or slide forward due to external forces being exerted upon it. The wall must also be able to hold together as a unit in order to function. That is, the wall must be stable with respect to both the external forces that might cause it to fall and the internal forces that might cause it to lose its shape and/or deformed External Stability EnviroGrid® retaining walls must be designed to be stable with respect to four potential external failure modes: global stability, base sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity. Jl M GLOBAL STABILITY refers to the stability of the wall, the soil behind it, and the soil below it. The designm•r. &■ ' engineer must be certain that the entire area including the wall does not collapse. A thorough soil analysis must be performed to eliminate theIV*. . possibility of global failure. v' T 6 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC i f- . BASE SLIDING refers to the outward movement of the bottom of the retaining wall as a result of the lateral forces generated by earth pressure and, if present, water pressure. The force resisting base sliding is the friction between the fill in the bottom layer of EnviroGrid® and the foundation soil beneath !■ the bottom layer. The designer may increase the front-to-back dimension of the wall if calculations •lit*Vf 1'' *show that the resisting force is less than required. »’I — ^ r. I 1 - :.i!1T'- This will increase the area available to develop the resisting force. A second option would be to use a fill with greater frictional characteristics. OVERTURNING refers to the tipping over of the retaining wall as it rotates about the toe of the structure. The overturning force is the sum of each destabilizing force times its moment arm. The stabilizing force, or righting moment, is the product of the weight of the retaining wall and ' its moment arm, which is the horizontal distance from the toe to the center of gravity of the wall. If calculations show that the righting moment is less than required, one option is to increase the front-to-back dimension of the wall, thereby increasing its overall weight and the magnitude of its moment arm. 7 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC ■ : BEARING CAPACITY refers to the ability of the foundation soil to support the weight of the sretaining wall placed upon it. The analysis is the same as for shallow foundations. It is necessary to increase the area of the base if calculations show that the soil beneath the wall is too weak. This will decrease the pressure (force per unit of area) on the foundation. Another option is to increase the depth into the ground of the retaining wall, thus increasing the ability of the foundation soil to resist the imposed weight. ’M I r iearingCapa# For each of these considerations, the resisting or stabilizing forces must exceed the forces that would cause failure by a predetermined factor of safety for each of these considerations. The selected factors of safety should reflect the consequences of failure and the designer's confidence in the accuracy of the input parameters. The following factors of safety are normally used in the design of gravity retaining walls: Global Stability FSgi = 1.3 Base Sliding FSsi = 1.5 Overturning FSot = 2.0 FSbc = 2.0Bearing Capacity If the minimum front-to-back dimension of a wall that uses EnviroGrid® is at least 0.6 times the wall height, the above factors of safety will be achieved in almost any design. 8 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC Internal Stability Internal stability refers to the ability of the individual parts of the wall to act as a single unit. The wall must be designed so that the individual pieces of the wall do not pullout, separate, or slide apart. In a modular block wall, the designer must be concerned with the potential of the tieback failing under tension or pulling out from the soil or the fascia. Also, a failure can occur if the fascia bulges out. The only internal stability consideration for walls consisting of EnviroGrid® and soil is the potential for sliding between panels. If a factor of safety of 1.5 or greater is not achieved with the initial design, the sections need to be made longer to increase the surface area or change the fill material to one with greater frictional characteristics.

The final design of any retaining wall must be developed by an engineer registered in the state where the project is located. 10 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC r Economics In many projects such as highway widening, rapid changes in grade are a necessity. In other projects such as apartment complexes on a steep slope, a rapid change in grade is the most efficient means of putting the available land area to economic use. A cost effective way to achieve a rapid change in grade is to construct a reinforced earth gravity wall or slope. EnviroGrid®, by itself or in combination with a geogrid, can be as effective as more expensive alternatives such as cast-in-place, steel-reinforced concrete retaining walls, modular block walls, or gabion baskets. EnviroGrid® is lightweight, easy to handle, can be filled with on-site materials, and does not require any special equipment for installation.

A vegetated EnviroGrid® wall or steepened slope can give a look that blends in with the local surroundings, adds color to the area, and softens the appearance of the wall face. In addition, a vegetated wall will absorb much of the volume and force of any water that flows down the slope. This can have a significant impact on the potential consequences of a large quantity of water pouring down a steep wall face. 11 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC EnvironmentaD Merit The EnviroGrid® geocell is designed and implemented in order to maximize environmental benefit. Geo Products recognizes that construction generally leaves a significant footprint upon the environment, and therefore seeks to reduce any impact that our EnviroGrid® incurs upon the landscape. The limited amount of infill required for EnviroGrid® as opposed to conventional construction methods, as well as the lower quality needed, offers not only a much softened blow to the environment but also reduces project engineering, length, and cost. In addition to a significantly lower construction and carbon footprint upon the environment, EnviroGrid® acts as a green building practice in diminishing erosion along slopes and embankments. The vegetative cover encouraged by EnviroGrid® is another source of soil stabilization as well as aesthetic value more difficult to achieve with conventional construction. As an innovative method to facilitate green thinking, EnviroGrid® is an effective solution to protect and preserve the environment when such a mindset is growing ever more desirable. LEED® Green Building Credits The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) system for designing and certifying environmentally sustainable buildings is the national standard for rating environmentally responsible construction. Introduced and enabled by the United States Green Building Council, LEED® takes into account materials and resources used, site location and development, air quality, and water and energy use in its evaluation of green buildings. Geo Products' EnviroGrid cellular confinement system is designed and implemented with environmental merit as a top priority, and contributes heavily to a higher LEED® rating for your green building project. Please refer to the US Green Building Council Website for further details on the LEED® certification system atwww.usgbc.com. LEED® Sustainable Site Credit 5.1: Site Development—Protect or Restore Habitat Requirements: For Greenfield sites-sites not previously developed and remain in a natural state-limit all site disturbance to the specified parameters. For previously developed areas, restore or protect a specified area of the site with acceptable vegetation. 12 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC Geo Products Solution and LEED'^ Credit Opportunities: EnviroGrid provides options for pervious paving in parking and access road functions, thus reducing disruption to existing ecosystems and minimizing the construction footprint. Also, through the stabilization of steepened slopes and of storm water detention facilities, EnviroGrid is able to reduce the construction footprint and keep site disturbance within the necessary parameters. For previously developed building areas, use of the EnviroGrid geocell allows for the restoration or promotion of vegetation, thus contributing to the ecosystem and further minimizing site disturbance. The retaining wall and slope stabilization features of EnviroGrid reduce valuable land consumption in an environmentally-friendly fashion. LEED® Sustainable Site Credit 5.2: Site Development—Maximize Open Space Requirements: To provide acceptable, vegetated open space within the project boundary in accordance with specified parameters, and to reduce development footprint. Geo Products Solution and LEED'^ Credit Opportunities: EnviroGrid is ideal for encouraging useful vegetated open space whether with green parking areas through load support functions or by reducing land consumption with environmentally friendly slope stabilization and earth retention purposes. In any application, EnviroGrid is designed to provide the most open space by eliminating the need for further drainage facilities or by allowing for steeper slopes with minimized environmental damage. LEED® Sustainable Site Credit 6.1 and 6.2: Stormwater Design-Quantity and Quality Control Requirements: Implement a stormwater management plan to limit disruption of the ecosystem by limiting the area of impervious cover and increasing the area's drainage capability according to specified guidelines. Also, to reduce the pollution and erosion associated with stormwater runoff. Geo Products Solution and LEED’^ Credit Opportunities: EnviroGrid is designed to ensure natural water flows--porous pavement, earth retention, and slope stabilization applications all allow stormwater to drain in an environmentally responsible manner. Use of EnviroGrid reduces the use of impervious cover and impervious concrete retention walls, thereby reducing pollutant loadings. EnviroGrid is also useful in creating natural treatment systems of stormwater runoff. 13 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC LEED© Sustainable Site Credit 7.1: Heat Island Effect--Nonroof Requirements: To reduce the heat island impact on microclimates and surrounding habitat, measures must be taken to reduce the heat absorption of exterior materials. Geo Products Solution and LEED® Credit Opportunities: US Green Builders Council suggests the use of vegetated or permeable surfaces such as EnviroGrid instead of constructed hardscape, thereby reducing the area's tendency to absorb heat significantly. The promotion of vegetative cover also contributes to the overall reduction of heat island effects. wmsm I - ik£- ■.vofcl ’■jt, mmm.....■ ■ )R..J - 4' ■ m : ■ r 14 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC LEED® Materials & Resources Credit 5.1 and 5.2: Regional Materials Requirements: To reduce the environmental impact resulting from transportation of construction materials by using materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region. Geo Products Solution and LEED® Credit Opportunities: EnviroGrid allows the use of virtually any local aggregate, eliminating the need to import higher quality infill materials.

Place precut sections of geosynthetic reinforcement (woven geotextiles or geogrids), dimensioned and oriented according to construction drawings, between the specified EnviroGrid® layers. It is important that reinforcement layers are: Placed horizontally with the high-strength axis perpendicular to the wall face. Flat and free from folds after placement. Placed so that the leading edge is within 150 mm (6 inches) minimum of the front of the wall and extend horizontally into the compacted backfill zone. Place and infill the next EnviroGrid® wall section layer. Manually tension the reinforcement by pulling it back from the in filled EnviroGrid® wall sections. Pin the back edge of the reinforcement layer so that it is taut and free from loose folds. 20 I P a g e 2013 Geo Products, LLC Tracked equipment should operate within the reinforced backfill zone only after a minimum 150 mm (6 inches) have been placed over each reinforcement layer. Rubber tired equipment can operate directly on the reinforcement using care to avoid sudden stops and sharp turns. Place backfill over the reinforcement in lifts of 250 mm (10 inches) starting from behind the EnviroGrid® wall sections and spreading the backfill towards the back of the reinforced zone. Ensure that excessive displacement of the reinforcement does not occur during backfill placement. Shape and compact the infill material to 95% SPDD using conventional equipment and methods. Continue with this sequence until the EnviroGrid® retaining wall is complete. Geo Products, LLC provides this information onty as an accommodation to our customers.
